rivalutare — Italian conjugation
to re-evaluate
Indicative
Present (Presente) Regular
The presente covers habits, ongoing situations, and plans about to start — much like English “I study” and “I am studying”. One present tense does both in Italian.
Lavora da casa tre giorni a settimana.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | rivaluto | I re-evaluate |
| tu | rivaluti | you re-evaluate |
| lui/lei | rivaluta | he/she/it re-evaluates |
| noi | rivalutiamo | we re-evaluate |
| voi | rivalutate | you (pl.) re-evaluate |
| loro | rivalutano | they re-evaluate |
Simple past (Passato remoto) Regular
The passato remoto tells a completed, narrative past, especially in the south and in literature. The passato prossimo is the normal spoken past in the north, so you choose register and region, not a difference in time alone.
Quella sera arrivò tardi, senza alibi.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | rivalutai | I re-evaluated |
| tu | rivalutasti | you re-evaluated |
| lui/lei | rivalutò | he/she/it re-evaluated |
| noi | rivalutammo | we re-evaluated |
| voi | rivalutaste | you (pl.) re-evaluated |
| loro | rivalutarono | they re-evaluated |
Imperfect (Imperfetto) Regular
The imperfetto is for incomplete past actions, context, and repeated or habitual situations without a clear end. The passato prossimo, not the remoto, is its usual “event” partner in speech.
Da bambina passavo le estati al mare.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| io | rivalutavo |
| tu | rivalutavi |
| lui/lei | rivalutava |
| noi | rivalutavamo |
| voi | rivalutavate |
| loro | rivalutavano |
Conditional (Condizionale) Regular
The condizionale is for polite “would you…”, first-condition hypotheticals, and reported future from a past point of view. The classic if-chain is se + imperfetto → condizionale.
Potresti alzare un poco la voce?
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | rivaluterei | I would re-evaluate |
| tu | rivaluteresti | you would re-evaluate |
| lui/lei | rivaluterebbe | he/she/it would re-evaluate |
| noi | rivaluteremmo | we would re-evaluate |
| voi | rivalutereste | you (pl.) would re-evaluate |
| loro | rivaluterebbero | they would re-evaluate |
Future (Futuro semplice) Regular
The futuro semplice is for predictions and far decisions. In speech you often hear the present (with a time adverb) or a paraphrase, and a famous trick is the futuro di probabilità for a present guess: saranno le tre.
Domani partiremo all'alba.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | rivaluterò | I will re-evaluate |
| tu | rivaluterai | you will re-evaluate |
| lui/lei | rivaluterà | he/she/it will re-evaluate |
| noi | rivaluteremo | we will re-evaluate |
| voi | rivaluterete | you (pl.) will re-evaluate |
| loro | rivaluteranno | they will re-evaluate |
Present perfect (Passato prossimo) Regular
The passato prossimo is the workhorse preterit-like past in the north and in everyday Italian: avere/essere + participle, essere for reflexives, motion, and other change-of-state patterns.
Siamo andati a piedi, poi abbiamo preso l'autobus.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | ho rivalutato | I have re-evaluated |
| tu | hai rivalutato | you have re-evaluated |
| lui/lei | ha rivalutato | he/she/it has re-evaluated |
| noi | abbiamo rivalutato | we have re-evaluated |
| voi | avete rivalutato | you (pl.) have re-evaluated |
| loro | hanno rivalutato | they have re-evaluated |
Pluperfect (Trapassato prossimo) Regular
The trapassato prossimo is “further in the past than another past” — the Italian pluperfect. It pairs with a main past clause to mark sequence.
Avevamo già mangiato quando suonò il telefono.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | avevo rivalutato | I had re-evaluated |
| tu | avevi rivalutato | you had re-evaluated |
| lui/lei | aveva rivalutato | he/she/it had re-evaluated |
| noi | avevamo rivalutato | we had re-evaluated |
| voi | avevate rivalutato | you (pl.) had re-evaluated |
| loro | avevano rivalutato | they had re-evaluated |
Conditional perfect (Condizionale passato) Regular
The condizionale passato is for unreal or missed past results and often appears with se + trapassato prossimo in the protasis.
Avrei accettato, se mi avessero avvisato in tempo.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| io | avrei rivalutato |
| tu | avresti rivalutato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe rivalutato |
| noi | avremmo rivalutato |
| voi | avreste rivalutato |
| loro | avrebbero rivalutato |
Future perfect (Futuro anteriore) Regular
The futuro anteriore says something will already be over before a still-later future, or, like the French, can express a logical guess about a past result.
Entro le cinque, avrà già lasciato l'ufficio.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | avrò rivalutato | I will have re-evaluated |
| tu | avrai rivalutato | you will have re-evaluated |
| lui/lei | avrà rivalutato | he/she/it will have re-evaluated |
| noi | avremo rivalutato | we will have re-evaluated |
| voi | avrete rivalutato | you (pl.) will have re-evaluated |
| loro | avranno rivalutato | they will have re-evaluated |
Subjunctive
Present subjunctive (Congiuntivo presente) Regular
The congiuntivo presente is required after many verbs and fixed phrases of will, fear, purpose, and doubt. Impersonal and semi-impersonal triggers (è importante che) also force the subjunctive mood.
Penso che sia la scelta giusta.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| io | rivaluti |
| tu | rivaluti |
| lui/lei | rivaluti |
| noi | rivalutiamo |
| voi | rivalutiate |
| loro | rivalutino |
Imperfect subjunctive (Congiuntivo imperfetto) Regular
The congiuntivo imperfetto is the past of the congiuntivo system after a past matrix clause and in se + congi. imperf. → condizionale with unreal conditions.
Se avessi più tempo, viaggerei ogni mese.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| io | rivalutassi |
| tu | rivalutassi |
| lui/lei | rivalutasse |
| noi | rivalutassimo |
| voi | rivalutaste |
| loro | rivalutassero |
Other forms
Imperative (affirmative) (Imperativo) Regular
The affirmative imperativo reuses the tu form as 3sg for -are verbs, while other conjugations use the normal tu present. It is the direct command register.
Raccontami com'è andata l'esame.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| tu | rivaluta |
| lui/lei | rivaluti |
| noi | rivalutiamo |
| voi | rivalutate |
| loro | rivalutino |
Imperative (negative) (Imperativo negativo) Regular
Negative commands use non + full infinitive in modern Italian, which is a distinctive rule compared to other Romance languages. Polite or indirect “please don’t” can still soften the tone in context.
Non aprire quella finestra, per favore.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| tu | non rivalutare |
| lui/lei | non rivaluti |
| noi | non rivalutiamo |
| voi | non rivalutate |
| loro | non rivalutino |
